Street racing in 1979, Dieters 1970 Cougar
Dieter's 1970 Cougar Eliminator (former NHRA Super Stock car) with a
modified Boss 351C motor, (very rare), street racing an all out 1969 Camaro drag car in 1979.
Old school street racing where it all began and the way it was back then.
NO juice in those days, and healthy small blocks were making about 425 HP.

Rusty Roof Replacement - 1968 Cougar
If you have an old car that came with a vinyl top, chances are that you
have some rust issues in the roof. This was the case with Andrew's car - a
1968 Mercury Cougar that his grandparents bought brand new in '68. In this
video, Andrew takes matters into his own hands to replace his rusted roof
skin with a solid donor roof from another car. He is by no means a
restoration expert, just an amateur trying to save some money and save his
car.

Drum to Disc Brake Conversion - 1968 Cougar / Mustang
A majority of these classic 60's cars came with manual drum brakes from the
factory, which was fine when most of the other cars on the road also had
manual drums. But in today's world, stopping distances are much shorter,
and antiquated drum brakes are a real safety hazard when driving alongside
modern cars. That's why converting to power disc brakes is a no-brainer to
us.
In this video, Andrew uses the factory power disc brake components from a
1970 Cougar to convert his 1968. The important thing to remember when doing
this is to take the whole system in its entirety, and not to mix-and-match
parts from different years. The 1970 brake pedal needs to be used with the
1970 Booster, and so on.
The conversion shown in this video is just one of the possible routes you
can take. We like using factory Ford parts when possible, rather than
aftermarket kits, but that's our opinion.
